There are many more problems with hunters than minimum range. Damage output is laughable in full pvp gear, for example my hunter at around 385 ilvl could only tickle similarly geared healers, while my 370 rogue could cause serious problems for them. Steady shot is slowed by both attack and cast speed slowing debuffs, making it impossible in some cases to regen focus at all. Hunters are the only class that have to spend resources, a GCD, and do no damage to apply an easily dispellable healing debuff. Even when we can shoot point blank, people will still have plenty of time to run behind us during a 3+ second steady shot. As SV, black arrow is easily dispelled, greatly reducing our damage for the duration of the cooldown, while no casters I can think of have 20+ second cooldowns on their dots. Serpent sting is also easily dispelled, cutting damage another 15%, requiring more focus and a GCD while doing little instant damage.
